Meniscus Tears
A meniscus tear is one of the most common knee injuries, affecting athletes and active individuals as well as those experiencing age-related joint changes. A torn meniscus can cause pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited knee function, making everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or exercising increasingly difficult.
At Cendant Stem Cell Center, we provide advanced regenerative medicine therapies designed to support the body’s natural healing response and help patients explore non-surgical treatment options for meniscus tears. Our personalized care plans focus on reducing discomfort, improving knee function, and helping patients return to the activities they enjoy.
Finding Relief from Meniscus Tear Starts Here
The meniscus is a piece of cartilage that cushions and stabilizes the knee joint. When it becomes torn due to sports injuries, sudden twisting movements, or natural wear over time, it can interfere with your ability to move comfortably and confidently.
At Cendant Stem Cell Center, our physicians perform comprehensive evaluations to understand the severity of your injury and develop personalized regenerative medicine treatment plans based on your condition, activity level, and long-term recovery goals.
Common Symptoms of a
Meniscus Tear
Knee Pain
Pain along the inside or outside of the knee that may worsen with movement.
Swelling
Inflammation that often develops within hours or days following the injury.
Knee Stiffness
Difficulty bending or straightening the knee comfortably.
Locking or Catching
A sensation that the knee catches or locks during movement.
Reduced Range of Motion
Limited flexibility that affects walking, squatting, or climbing stairs.
Knee Instability
A feeling that the knee may give way during everyday activities.
How Regenerative Medicine Works
Stem cells are often referred to as the body’s natural repair cells because of their ability to support tissue regeneration and healing processes. Depending on the severity of your meniscus injury, physicians may recommend a combination of regenerative therapies including:
Stem Cells
Designed to support the body’s natural repair and regenerative capabilities.
PRP
Platelet-rich plasma containing natural growth factors that may support the body’s healing response.
Extracellular Matrix
Provides structural support that helps create an environment favorable for tissue repair.
The goal is to support the body’s natural healing response while helping patients improve knee function, reduce discomfort, and return to everyday activities with greater confidence.
